For Missions

I don't know why I have such difficulty keeping my blog updated!  I am going to make a conscious effort from now on to kick my self into gear and keep my blog up to date.

A lot has been going on in The Frock Princess workshop!  My most recent project has been Pillowcase Dresses for Missions.  God has been working on me for a while now to go on a mission trip, and the opportunity for me to travel with a team to Central Asia has come up!  God called and I answered, "Here I am Lord, send me!"  I am super excited about what great things God has in store for this trip.  He has already blessed me in so many ways, and He has been providing for me financially for this trip.

As you can imagine the cost for a trip to Central Asia is not cheap.  So, I decided to put my skills to use and sell dresses. 

Option #1:

Here is the Asian inspired pillowcase dress.


Cost: $30 (100% of profit goes to Missions)
Size: 6mths to size 8


Option #2:

Check out this fabric!  Isn't pretty?

Cost: $25
Sizes: 6mths to size 8

Pillowcase dresses are also available in this beautiful fabric.  The front of the dress is plain, but embroidery or appliques are available.  The cost of the dress in the Asian Umbrella* fabric is $25, and 100% of the profits goes to Missions.

Are you selling anything else besides dresses?

If you are not in the market for a dress, Appliqued T-shirts and onesies are available in every size.  For little girls we have this darling kimono girl*.  Please note that the fabric for the kimono is subject to chance due to availablity. 


Cost: $25
Sizes: Any


What about for little boys?

For little boys we have this darling Asian boy* applique!  Please note that the color of the shirt and pants is subject to change due to availability.


Cost: $25
Sizes: Any


If you are interested in supporting me by purchasing a pillowcase dress or appliqued shirt/onesie please contact me via email or phone to place your order! 


God Bless!

Piper Pants with Appliqued Onesie

I decided that I was having way too much fun creating dresses for my darling girl, and I thought that I better tackle some pants.  Spring is around the corner after all and she needs some warmer weather threads.  I am so happy with the way these pants turned out.  They are a wide bottom pant with a detachable bow!  Just take a look at this little number!

Aren't they so, so cute?  Then I thought that she needed a little something to go with her new pants.  So, I took one of her little onesies and appliqued a flower on the front!
Now she has a complete outfit!  If only spring would arrive a little faster!


Pants Cost: $20 (pants only)  Sizes: 12 mths to size 8
Onesie Cost: $10 (onesie only) Sizes: 12 to 24 mths  T-shirt Cost: $15 (shirt only) Sizes: 2T to size 8

Lucy Lou Dress

This week I was feeling a little ambitious.  So, I thought that I would learn a new sewing trick; shirring.  Little did I know that my zealousness would lead me on a roller coaster of a day.  There I was with my pretty little dress all made with the only thing left to do is shirr the neckline and sleeves.  Ahh, I was envisioning perfection...

Burst!!!

That's right, my bubble burst the minute I attempted this technique.  That's right it took me an agonizing 5 hours, one phone call to Brother (my sewing machine manufacturer--thank you sweet old lady), two YouTube videos, my book Complete Guide to Sewing, and yes, some tears for me to be able to shirr my dress. 

Note: NO DRESSES WERE HARMED IN LEARNING THIS TECHNIQUE.

After much trial and error, I am proud to present my Lucy Lou dress!!!

Dress Features:

Shirred neckline and sleeves with finished hem.
Appliqued fabric flower.
Ribbon trim on hem of dress.

back view

I am proud of this little number and now I cannot wait to try my new technique on another project!!!

Cost: $30
Sizes: 3 months to size 6

Tutu Cute!

I saw a picture of a tutu that I thought was so precious and cute.  Since I was feeling overly ambitious I thought that I would try to recreate the tutu.  While the project was not as easy as I thought it was going to be, the final product was incredibly cute!  Take a look at this little number:


You may not know this yet, but my family simply loves Disney!  My baby girl is going to wear this when we go there this spring!  Isn't it cute?

Cost: $30 size 0 to 2T and $35 3T to 6 (price for larger sizes available upon request)
Sizes: Any size; just give me the waist size.

The Warmth of Sunshine

With the abundant amount of snow and cold weather we have received this winter, I thought that I needed a little warmth and sunshine.  So, I thought that I would get started on my spring collection.  The first dress in this collection is a darling little number I call "Sunshine."

Are you ready for some sunshine?  Here it is:


Front

Back

This dress is a double layer dress with an over skirt and an underskirt.  The straps are knotted in order for your precious little darling to get more years of wear out of this dress.  However, if you would prefer buttons, I can easily attach them.

Get your "Sunshine" dress today and add some warmth to your winter!

Cost: $40
Sizes: 2T to size 12
